I want to thank everyone on the team for making Illuvium. You've sparked my love for gaming once again with all the passionate work and dedication you've put into this project.
A special thank you to @tall plover @worldly anvil @sudden canopy @lavish crypt @bitter wave.
Here is my contribution hope you guys like it!

I have to admit, I couldn't read through the entire thing. But as someone familiar with many deckbuilder roguelikes, could you simplify the concept for me?
For example, is it like Slay the Spire but with a unique twist?
Apologies if this is oversimplifying your idea.

yes Slay the Spire was exactly the inspiration for this.
it's on the second page

Are there any considerable differences to the core gameplay?

don't know if they are considerable or not but yes there are a few, give it a read when you have the time.

Did i get this right?
It's basically a pve game, where you have to Beat increasingly stronger npc's for farming illuvitars, Accessoires and leaderboard rewards?

I would just point out that there are two different game modes. One that focus on speed runs and another one on how high you can climb the tower.

Hahaha this sounds super fun! The only thing that wasn't clear to me was the place of illuvitars. So u bring 6 illuvials into the tower but what about illuvitars?

the illuvitars can be attached to the illuvials to give them bonus power, up to 75%. Check card bonuses on page 4.

Righttt so that's done before entering the tower yeah?
tough venture

yes
before entering you pick your team of 6 illuvials that you can boost with corresponding illuvitars
illuvitars are not mandatory, it's just a way to boost your cards.

Are the illuvitars represented visually ingame very much?

Then is it 'illuvium beyond tower'? Maybe it should be 'illuvium tower'
tough venture
the idea is for the accessories to be part of the game as I mention in the Art Style page 14
but there could also be a toggle option to show them or not

Illuvium Tower sounds nice as well

the illuvitars themselves are not represented, what would be represented are the bonded accessories and the expression on the illuvial.

Hmmmmm. Fair enough. Would be nice to make illuvitars mandatory

I've given it some thought, and I agree that illuvitars should be a requirement for the team composition. My idea was that players would naturally want to include illuvitars in their teams to maximize rewards and remain competitive on the leaderboards. However, there was an oversight with this. Basic illuvitars (no expression, T1S1 background, non-holo with no accessories) have no use case since they provide a 0% bonus.

"The player’s party consists of six illuvials, each matched with a corresponding illuvitar."
I've updated the document with these changes

Love it!

is the game a gamified d1sk opening?

is the game a gamified d1sk opening?
yes
but you can also play a F2P version of the game

Just watched a video of @ionic tulip playing Kaiju Cards, looks like other web3 games are already starting to capitalize on Slay the Spire's success.

Np, I'm glad you liked it.
Even if this is not the game we end up making, I think what Beyond needs is a gamified D1sk opening experience and not simply a TCG.

@worldly anvil @lavish crypt what do you think of this game pitch?
worldly anvil
I think it's cool.

Haven't fully read the document either but i must say i played Slay the Spire A LOT and it's a fantastic game. A rogue-like deck building game in Illuvium? 100% yes!
